About Mr Nigel Gummerson

Mr Gummerson is a Consultant Orthopaedic Spinal Surgeon based at Leeds General Infirmary. He is the Clinical Lead for Spinal Surgery in the Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.

He studied medicine at Trinity College Oxford and later joined the Leeds surgical rotation. His practice includes Adult and Paediatric Spinal Surgery.

The majority of his NHS time is split between the complex spinal deformity and treatment of (thoracic and lumbar) degenerative conditions (eg sciatica, spinal stenosis and coccygeal pain).

He treats trauma, tumour and infection (cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacral) as part of his emergency spinal work.

Mr Gummerson also has a particular interest in spinal trauma. He has authored a number of journal articles on spinal trauma and he lectures locally and nationally on this topic.

Friendly, patient lovely consultant giving a clear explanation of my procedure. Talks through everything which could help my back pain and made me feel a lot happier about a solution of nerve root blocks. Which fingers crossed have worked!. I would highly recommend Mr Gummerson and would not hesitate to return should I experience any further back pain issues.
